MV AGUSTA motorcycle paint 

Your project is to repaint your MV Agusta motorcycle with a manufacturer's color, that is to say with the color codes of Italian motorcycles, in this case the color codes of MV Agusta motorcycles. You can order your paint on the product page below. MV AGUSTA paint is available in aerosol and cans (0.25 – 2L). You can therefore apply it even if you do not have a paint gun.

Performing a small touch-up or even a complete painting yourself on an MV AGUSTA motorcycle is possible by obtaining results close to those obtained by professional painters.

The first step will be the dismantling of the parts: we are talking about any part, such as the mudguards, the windshields or the tank for example. Then you have to prepare a workspace.

To correctly apply the MV AGUSTA color code, a well-ventilated area and a clean area free of dust are required. Fine dust can be fixed to the ground by wetting the area slightly. It is necessary to choose a day without wind and with a temperature preferably between 15 and 25 degrees. Below, the paint does not dry, while above, the paint and varnish can dry too quickly.

The different consumables and accessories you need are :
- conical paper paint filter
- sanding sheets with grits from 320 to 800
- pad sticky for picking up dust on bodywork
- cleaning thinner for cleaning tools after work.

The products you need, in addition to the paint, are the primer and the varnish.
There are 2 types of primers, with first filling primers which are used to correct the surface, and secondly, adhesion primers which are only used to adhere to rough and difficult surfaces, such as bare metals, bare plastics or even chrome.

This happens for old colors that could not be reproduced, for lack of a model, or on the contrary, for very recent colors, for which our laboratory has not yet been able to get hold of a sample.

We supply MV AGUSTA manufacturer colors in a solvent-based version. These are body paints usually used by professionals for motorcycles and cars. These are paints that are also called bilayers, because they are applied in 2 stages, with the paint, then a clearcoat. The paint is ready to use and single-component, and it obtains its resistance thanks to the clearcoat, which must be two-component.

The bodywork varnishes that are applied to motorcycles, in particular to MV AGUSTA motorcycles, are polyurethane solvent-based acrylic varnishes. Acrylic clearcoats have the best resistance to UVs. They do not turn yellow and they also have one of the highest resistances, both to abrasion and to spraying with hydrocarbons.

The history of the manufacturer MV AGUSTA

The Italian motorcycle manufacturer MV AGUSTA was founded by Mr. Agusta in 1945 before the end of the war. Initially, it was a subsidiary of its Milan-based aircraft manufacturing business.

Mr Agusta is one of the precursors in the field of aviation. Originally from Sicily, he will emigrate to northern Italy and build one of the first airplanes in the world.

His passion will give rise to a flourishing business with the First World War. The possibilities offered by the first aircraft are obvious and this field is predicted to have a bright future.

The origin of the shift from aircraft manufacturing to motorcycle manufacturing, when the aviation business was booming and the order book was full, came from the fact that Italy was banned from aircraft manufacturing after World War II. The Agusta family therefore reconverted into the promising field of motorcycling. From 1946, thanks to their experience in the field of engines and metal frames, the first motorcycles were built in series with a 98 cm³ engine and a gearbox after speed.

The founder having already been dead for a few years, it is his family who has taken up the torch, with a still overflowing passion for engines and mechanics. One of the main priorities of the company is the passion for motorcycle racing. All the efforts of innovation tend towards the victory in the races of speed. The competition and the level in the field of motorcycle mechanics is the highest in the world in Italy, which pushed each brand to constantly develop new innovations. That's why the best racing cars and the largest number of sports motorcycle manufacturers originate from Italy.

During its history, MV AGUSTA has produced a large number of motorcycles, with colors of which the dominant color was red. In the 90s, MV AGUSTA motorcycles were real racing cars with speeds approaching 300 km/h and engines producing nearly 125 horsepower. The latest sports motorcycles are well represented by the new MV Agusta Superveloce, which benefits from modern innovations and which takes up the stylistic spirit of the first motorcycles of the Italian manufacturer.
